Rain, Rain, Go Away

We had some warm, rainy, humid, basically miserable weather this past week. Luckily, we know how to keep ourselves entertained indoors.

Wrapping presents...

Jackson's class did a book exchange, which I thought was such a great idea. Each child got to have the excitement of unwrapping a gift, and they all came home with a new book to read!

Blowing bubbles...

And of course, dance parties...

We made some goodies, too...like these Chocolate-Almond Butter Truffles (from 1000 Vegan Recipes.) They are so fast and easy to make, if you need a quick food gift idea.

From Quick-Fix Vegan, Chard and Red Lentil Soup. Although healthy and hearty, this soup was missing something in the flavor department. If I make it again, I'll probably dump in a bunch of cumin and lemon juice.

Also from QFV, Seitan and Slaw Wraps. Tony and I really enjoyed these Asian-inspired wraps. Sweet and just a little bit spicy. Jackson loved the seitan -- he was eating it all by itself.

Hoping we get some cold, dry days this week. If not...more dance parties!
